Pub is a good idea - the only issue for you is that you said you're shy so that might not work. Honestly I would seriously also work on being 'ok' doing stuff solo. It unlocks loads of potential and through doing that you can naturally meet people too.

There is always something to do. Have a look into outdoor activities (hiking, climbing, wild swimming, running), sports clubs (even if you’re not interested in that particular sport I guarantee you will still have fun and meet people), or indoor clubs such as reading, crafting, board games/RPG etc.

try out 5 new things this month. find an event/ club that runs events around those hobbies. go to each one, find one which you like, stick to it, make friends.
easiest way to make friends is to find shared interests.

Why not just WhatsApp or test folk you went to school with and ask if they fancy a pint, or hanging out whatever way works for you? It doesn’t need to be via social media

I only had them on Instagram and Snapchat but I no longer have the apps. I moved house a few hours away when I was 18 so I didn’t contact them and deleted the apps. I’ve moved back now.

Join some clubs! I’ve joined a book club, I go to a weekly evening football session and I’m also trying to say yes to more invites.

Im 21 in the same boat as you apart from work I have not been able to meet people.

Yeah I used to actually enjoy going to work so I could meet people. I had to leave my job a few months back because I moved house.

I get that i currently doing temp type work so it's not the best for making long term connections. Also more of a slow burn thing i have started is becoming a bit of a regular at coffee shops.Have you tried any clubs/the gym.

Have a look for ramblers clubs in your area, any volunteering work at local charities or charity shops. Meetup.com has events in most towns. How about running clubs or a local gym with classes? If you go to classes like kickboxing, you almost have to talk a little bit to your partner there. If you look for groups that are related to your own interests you'll be more likely to find people you've got something in common with.

Maybe join a community, that involves social events. Find something you’re interesting in, and then see if there’s any potential gatherings.
Book clubs, maybe even some volunteer work. I’m not saying it’s going to suit everyone, but it’s a starting point.

I have just signed up for a book club to get reading again. I go to young wilders events around the area. 18 to 30 year olds for a day of environmental volunteering. I will join an archery club when i get some more money. Just some ideas. There is always something going on whereever you are.
